The present study was designed to investigate Neuroprotective effect of Lornoxicam, Selegiline and co-administration of both drugs in Scopolamine induced cognitive impairment and neurodegeneration. Scopolamine (1...

Upon inoculation into neonatal rats, murine leukemia virus (MuLV) NT40 causes a non-inflammatory degeneration of the central nervous system. While microglia cells appear to be the major target cells within the brain parenchyma for neurovirulent MuLV, degenerating neurons do not express retroviral gene products. In order to protect rats from neuronal damage we treated retrovirally infected rats ...

alzheimer is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder in which oxidative stress plays a major role. the present study was designed to investigate neuroprotective effect of lornoxicam, selegiline and co-administration of both drugs in scopolamine induced cognitive impairment and neurodegeneration. scopolamine (1.4mg/kg) was administered intraperitoniallyin male wistar rats. rectangular maze perf...

BACKGROUND Adult stem cells (ASC) are undifferentiated cells found throughout the body. These cells are promising tools for cell replacement therapy in neurodegenerative disease. Adipose tissue is the most abundant and accessible source of ASC. This study was conducted to evaluate effect of selegiline on differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) into functional neuron-like cells (NLC...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate mortality among patients with Parkinson's disease receiving different treatment. DESIGN Cohort study based on computerised medical records. SETTING UK General Practice Research Database. SUBJECTS 12 621 patients aged between 35 and 90 years who had received a prescription for an antiparkinsonian drug, whether or not a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease had been recorde...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correlation between changes in platelet monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B) activity and plasma beta-phenylethylamine (PEA) concentrations in patients with Parkinson's disease and controls. METHODS Platelet MAO-B activity and plasma PEA were measured with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in patients with Parkinson's disease treated with levodopa (12 men and ...

Carbamazepine and selegiline, although neuroprotective themselves, are presumed to have toxic metabolites. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible metabolism-induced toxicity of selegiline and carbamazepine with a novel in vit ro method: The drugs were incubated with target cells (neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y) with or without a preincubation with mouse or human hepatocytes. The viability...

Objective(s): Present study investigated the neuroprotective effects of selegiline and the molecular mechanisms involved in methamphetamine-induced neurotoxicity.Materials and Methods: Male wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups (10 rats in each group). Group 1 and group 2 received normal saline and methamphetamine (10 mg/kg),...
